The Perfect Storm: Remembering the Dust Bowl in Kansas and Why It Matters

From the parched fields of 1930s Kansas emerged stories that continue to shape out state’s identity. Through the voices of survivors, policy-makers, and historians, this presentation explores how Dust Bowl narratives have evolved and why they remain relevant today. This presentation will examine how this pivotal moment is remembered and highlight how those memories continue to shape the future of the Plains.
